In this episode, Bonnie and Thomas share practical examples of applying the "let them" principle—from a 2-year-old's lip gloss fascination to a 14-year-old's first bush party request. Learn how teaching life skills proactively (instead of baby-proofing and redirecting) builds neural pathways for focus, self-control, and responsibility. Find out why becoming your child's "big kid trusted advisor" creates cooperation, connection, and lasting relationships—even into adulthood. Want more? Click here.
